Regarding formula

2021-12-30 10:16:41
I have 52 days old baby. She is having cold and cough for past 29 days. Visited 2 doctors and they didn't prescribed any medicine as it is normal cold. Last week cold had been  settled but for past 2 days again she started cough and having nasal congestion. I am giving formula milk once or twice a day along with breastmilk. Does formula milk cause cough and cold? (Because last week I stopped giving formula for 3 days that time I felt cold was better. Now she started cold and cough again) Does formula related to cold?

Formula feeding will not cause cough and cold, but bottle feeding will. Try to avoid bottle feeding.

Hello. Formula feed is not at all related to cold or cough but make sure you are preparing it in boiled and cooled  lukewarm water and not normal water. You can give normal saline nasal drop- 1 drop in each nostril every 6th hourly for 2 days for nasal congestion.
